Genus Eusattodera Schaeffer, 1906

Eusattodera Schaeffer, 1906: 244 (type species Eusattodera pini Schaeffer, 1906 , by original designation).

Remarks

As currently constituted, this genus contains six described species. However, the New World representatives of the section Monoleptites are in desperate need of taxonomic revision. The differences among the genera are very poorly defined. At present, the generic placements of many of the species are probably incorrect. The confusion is perpetuated in the following key. With regards to Eusattodera , the type species (type locality in Arizona), as well as some of its close relatives, are relatively distinctive. See Fig. 138 for a habitus illustration. However, other species currently in the genus probably belong elsewhere.
